About this distance
Far shows USFS's published 35.7 km (22.2 mi), which is what to plan against. The route drawn here is Far's own measurement of the mapped trail and comes to 41.9 km (26.0 mi), about 17% longer, so the drawn line will not match the figure. Elevation gain is profiled from the whole mapped line, which is longer than the published route (about 117% of it), so 1244 m may include climb on sections the published figure excludes.
